Zhinao dragged on and on, even if Liu Hong died half a year early, even if the emperor was not the person in history, this war against Dong still dragged on until the first year of Chuping - that is, 190 AD. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xingyang, a famous city in the Central Plains, has always been a place where soldiers must fight, and the Jin and Chu hegemony fought here in the Spring and Autumn Period. After the unification of the Qin Dynasty, in order to strengthen his control over the Kwantung states, Qin Shi Huang established Aocang here and hoarded military rations to send heavy troops.
There are mountains in Xingyang, Guangwu Mountain, and Guangwu City is built, and Aocang is here; There is water, Bishui, Bianshui and artificial river chasm, during the dispute between Chu and Han, the chasm used to divide the world as the boundary. The weight of Xingyang can also be explored from his history. In the territory of Xingyang, there are ruins of the Kingdom of Qiu, there are pavilions, and the Kingdom of Qiu is the fief of the uncle of King Wu of Zhou and Zhou, which shows the importance of its status. In addition, Xingyang also has Longcheng, Boting, Aoting, and Xingze.
Therefore, since ancient times, Xingyang has been an important town in the world, as an important city in the Central Plains, it is very important, and Bishui Pass, that is, Tiger Prison Pass, is in Xingyang. And, because of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the Tiger Prison Pass and the Bishui Pass were mistaken by the public in later generations as two places, and the game became two important levels in the Central Plains. It is said that from the west of the tiger prison to Luoyang, there is no place of danger.
Although Dong Zhuo occupied Luoyang, it did not mean that he would sit back and relax, there were many people in the court who opposed him, and he knew this. But governing the country is not like the previous generals, just think about how to defeat the enemy, these scholars are the help Dong Zhuo needs, as long as they don't do too much and don't confront them head-on, Dong Zhuo will turn a blind eye to the past.
Therefore, in order to deter those who have different intentions in the court, Dong Zhuo's army rarely traveled eastward, but stationed heavy troops in Xingyangtun, and occupied the eight passes around Luoyang, forming a tight defense system.
Today's coalition army has run to dozens of miles east of Xingyang, encamped, not only the princes from all walks of life stationed in Sujube have arrived, but even Yuan Shu and Sun Jian have also come with troops.
Obviously, it is better to attack Dagu Pass independently than to attack Bishui Pass together. At the very least, you won't lose too much.
Yuan Shao once again convened a military meeting of the princes of all walks of life in the Great Tent of the Chinese Army.
He is very satisfied now, especially not long ago, the imperial court issued an edict to change the Yuan Chuping, he felt that this was a good omen for his expression, and this time the thief would definitely succeed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the matter of discussing Dong has been delayed for a long time, delayed for more than half a year, and now there should be an understanding." Yuan Shao looked around for a week and said, "The army is conquest, and it takes a long time, so it can't always go on like this." I have decided to march into the army today to rescue the trapped Son of Heaven and the princes of the court as soon as possible, do you have any suggestions? ”
"Do as the Alliance Master commands." The crowd said.
"That's good, Sun Wentai!" Yuan Shao was also not modest, and shouted directly.
"Sun Jian is here!" Sun Jian came out in response.
"You volunteered to be a pioneer last time, but do you dare to move forward this time?" Yuan Shao asked.
"Sun Jian is willing to go." Sun Jian said loudly.
"Okay, now that Dong Zhuo is in the east of Bishui Pass, Dong Zhuo is fully contracted, you will immediately send troops to Bishui Pass to challenge and open the way for my army." Yuan Shao ordered.
"Yes." After Sun Jian finished speaking, he immediately resigned and left, and went back to reorganize the army.
"Highways, as well as Hanzhou herding, army logistics grain and grass, please support more." Yuan Shao said again.
"I will wait until I understand, and if I do my best, I will also raise food for the army." The two said.
……
Luoyang, Dong Zhuo heard that the Kwantung coalition army was approaching Bishui Pass, and once again he was angry in the court, so frightened that the Manchu ministers didn't dare to say it loudly.
The court was a place where Dong Zhuo and the scholars compromised with each other, and the Prime Minister's Mansion was his own base camp. After the next dynasty, Dong Zhuo immediately convened the generals under his command to discuss the matter.
"Wen Wei, we may be wrong, the Kwantung people don't seem to have the intention of cooperating with us, if the alliance of the Kwantung princes has nothing to do with them, I don't believe it." In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Dong Zhuo said to Li Ru, "Look at those who raised troops against me, most of them were Taishou and Assassin Shi who I personally appointed. ”
"These people are no longer shameless, they are officials given by the prime minister, but they still raise troops to oppose the prime minister, they really deserve to be killed. Since the Kwantung clan doesn't cooperate, then we'll play by ourselves and don't want them. Although the terrain of Luoyang is dangerous, it is not as good as Chang'an. Recently, there is a ballad that says, 'There is a Han in the east and a Han in the west.' When the deer enters Chang'an, there will be no difficulty'. If there is a disagreement, it is not impossible to go back to Chang'an directly. The land of Kansai is our foundation, and this Kanto should not be wanted. Li Ru suggested.
In the final analysis, no matter how smart Li Ru is, he doesn't have much experience in political struggle, he was confused by these old fritters at the beginning, and by the time he reacted, it was too late, and the general trend of the Kanto region had become a success. In addition, Dong Zhuo was addicted to pleasure and didn't like his advice very much, so he had no choice but to look for opportunities again.
"Let's talk about this later!" Dong Zhuo is used to the prosperity of Luoyang, but he doesn't want to go back to Chang'an District to suffer, "Then let them go alone?" ”
"Of course not, if nothing else, just to deter the people who are ready to move in the DPRK, they also want to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys. At the beginning, who proposed to add an official title to the fleeing Yuan Benchu, and who proposed to let those scholars go out to be assassins and guards, pick a few and kill them. The reason is to collude with local rebellions, and no one dares to say anything! Li Ru suggested.
"Okay, you choose a few people to come out, and behead them directly in the coming day, and show those people. I haven't used the knife for a long time, lest they think I'm really a bully! Dong Zhuo said indignantly, "By the way, how is the defense of Bishui Pass?" It can't be a problem, right? ”
"It doesn't matter, Xingyang is guarded by Xu Rong, and there are 3 million troops, even if there are more of them, they don't have half a year, don't think about touching the city wall of Bishui Pass." Li Ru was very confident in Xu Rong, "But if you want to repel the coalition forces, you still need to send people to support, after all, Xu Rong is alone, and it is difficult to support him alone." ”
"Okay, when they come, I'll send someone." Dong Zhuo said.
Before long, the generals of the Xiliang Army who received the news arrived.
"You should have received the news that the rebellion in various parts of the Kanto region has been approaching the Bishui Pass. Let's talk about what to do, right? Dong Zhuo saw that everyone was coming, and asked directly.
"In terms of combat, my Xiliang Army has never been afraid of anyone, since they dare to rebel, they will directly suppress it." Li Dao said proudly.
"That's it, my Xiliang Army is not one of those improvised local chickens and dogs, they are all with the majesty of killing with other races, and they can be killed directly." Guo Yan also said.
"That's it, Prime Minister, the last general will ask for battle."
"The last general will also ask for battle."
……
As Dong Zhuo expected, these people had long heard about the Kwantung Princes' Alliance raising troops, and they had long wanted to go to the battlefield to fight. Because if you don't fight, you won't have merit, and you can't be promoted.
Unlike other people who rewarded themselves after taking power, Dong Zhuo was very harsh on his own people, and never rewarded high-ranking officials and lords, but only used them in key positions. Very important, but not of high status. For example, Lu Bu, when he was under Dong Zhuo, he also recognized his godfather, and he was only appointed as a nominal cavalry captain, and now he is just a lieutenant general.
Therefore, the Xiliang Army and even Lu Bu are eager to go to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions.
After everyone finished the battle, Lu Bu also spoke.
"Don't worry about the father-in-law, the princes outside the gate, the children regard it as a mustard; May the army of tigers and wolves be beheaded and hung in the capital gate. ”
Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and said: "I know Fengxian's ability. I was already worried that Xu Rong would be lonely and unable to speak, but since Feng Xian was willing to go, I was relieved. ”
"Prime Minister, do you use a knife to kill chickens? Just the Kanto miscellaneous soldiers, which Lao Lu Zhonglang went in person? The last general is not talented, I am willing to go and behead a few Kwantung princes to serve the prime minister! Just when Dong Zhuo was about to give an order, a person jumped out next to him to cut off Hu.
Dong Zhuo turned his head to look at this person: nine feet long, with a tiger body and a wolf's waist, and a leopard's head and ape arms, he was a fierce general under him, and Huaxiong, a native of Kansai, was also.
Lu Bu's face was full of displeasure, glared at Hua Xiong, stopped talking, and looked at Dong Zhuo.
"It's okay, Fengxian is the pillar of our army, don't move lightly, let Huaxiong try the strength of the Kwantung thief first!" Dong Zhuo thought for a while, exchanged opinions with Li Ru, and then said, "Huaxiong, this prime minister has crowned you as the captain of Xiaocai, and led a million-strong army to guard Bishui Pass." You are the main general, Li Su, Hu Zhen, and Zhao Cen are the deputies, and go to Bishui Pass in the starry night. ”
"Prime Minister Xie, the last general will live up to the expectations of the prime minister." Hua Xiong said excitedly.
"There are also those aliens, now that their strength can be seen in front of them, they can be used when they should be used, don't be afraid of losses, and it doesn't matter if you promise more. Kanto people, pay special attention to Sun Jian, I have worked with this person, he is extremely brave, not to be underestimated, let alone underestimate the enemy. Dong Zhuo instructed.
"The last general will strictly follow the instructions of the prime minister." Hua Xiong thanked him.
"The rest of the soldiers don't have to be discouraged, this time the thieves are quite powerful and will not retreat easily. Everyone go back and get ready, we may have to go to support at any time. Dong Zhuo commanded again.
……
A big war was about to break out, both sides were ready, not many people cared, and the next day, several ministers who colluded with thieves and rebelled were taken down on the spot in the court. After a while, the head was sent directly to the Chongde Palace, which frightened the Manchu Dynasty and the civil and military trembled.
Among these heads, there are Wu Qiong's and Zhou Bi's...... If you have the heart to trace it, you will find that these people are the people who suggested that Dong Zhuo give Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu official titles, and they are also the people who suggested that Han Fu, Liu Dai, Tao Qian and others be released as assassins and state pastors.
Of course, not many people care about that anymore.
The military meeting convened by Dong Zhuo was before Yuan Shao, and before all the princes of the alliance arrived, Huaxiong was dispatched. So after Hua Xiong arrived in a hurry, he waited for a few days before finally waiting for the belated coalition army.
Under the Bishui Pass, a seemingly mighty general is showing off his might towards the city.
